Last year I went across to the dales and stayed at a site in skirethorns near grassington. The site was just ok but it was a bit of hike to the local pub and uphill on the return. However, it was a mile and a half to grassington which was great. I'm planning a weekend away in April and want to go back to the dales but my mate and his wife want to come and pitch a tent. So, are there any recommendations for a campsite in the dales with hook up that also does tents with good clean facilities and a short walk to a pub or village? Cheers
I'm liking the look of the Hawes site, hopefully the bus will manage buttertubs without too much trouble
We camped at Tan Hill one New Years eve. We rocked up to a pre-erected tent and went straight to the pub We all got thrown out in the wee hours and stumbled into a cold bed, only to have one of the worst nights sleep I've ever had but couldn't work out why in my booze addled slumber. Woke up to find it was a wee bit damp, those scouts had pitched us over a frozen stream. Good place though.
We camp in front of the pub and as long as you make a donation to mountain rescue you can use the (basic) facilities and nice warm fire!! And loads of food n beer!!
